Subject: [wsrp-wsia] Markup Subgroup Meeting-Fwd:DSL downtime
Since only Andre and I attended the markup subgroup meeting this last Wednesday, Andre and I decided that the markup subgroup should meet this coming Wednesday again, at the agreed time and at the numbers he supplied. I wanted to make that announcement now since I forgot yesterday. I am still disconnected on the system that handles my email on a regular basis, so I thought I should let these lists know also. I am supposed to get the ISP level 2 tech support before Mon.
